Today we, as Americans, will be a part of a "first" in the history of our great nation. When all is said and done we will either have out first African-American President or our first female Vice-President! All I can say is WOW, why wouldn't you want to make your vote count and be part of history either way! I don't care who you vote for (OK I do but I won't push my views on you) as long as you stand up and are counted!

I was very proud to go vote this morning with Sadie in tow! It was a tad difficult because I could not take her stroller in since there were only stairs and no ramp and to top it all off I had to use a PEN AND PAPER ballot while holding her in my other arm! It wasn't fun, but we got the job done and after we placed the ballot in the box we both got stickers that say "I Voted". She was very excited about the sticker!

The whole pen and paper thing kind of got to me because I do not remember using a pen and paper when I voted here in the 2000 election! I know I used a machine in 2004 at Ft. Campbell! Oh well, I guess it really doesn't matter what method you have to use as long as it counts!

Some voting perks today: Starbucks - free coffee, Ben and Jerry's - free ice cream. Just thought I would throw that in there as some extra incentive.
